Additional quotes by Niccolò Machiavelli

Just as artists who draw landscapes get down in the valley to study the mountains and go up to the mountains to look down on the valley, so one has to be a prince to get to know the character of a people and a man of the people to know the character of a prince.

He who builds on the people, builds on the mud

In peace one is despoiled by the mercenaries, in war by one's enemies.

These opportunities, then, gave these men the chance they needed, and their great abilities made them recognize it. - Niccolò Machiavelli
